Windows 10 Update or Ready Nas NV+ RND4000
Does anyone know if there is an update for this storage device for WIN10? And if so any instructions n how best to update.
I can see the device in the management console but cannot access the data onthe drives.

Go into "turn windows features on and off" on the PC, and enable the SMB 1.0 client software.
Note that Microsoft is deprecating that client because the 1.0 protocol isn't secure. Personally I'm fine with using that protocol on a home network, but opinions on that vary.
Given the age of the NAS, you might plan on getting a modern replacement (perhaps an RN214 or an RN422). That will be much faster, have some more features - and will support SMB 3. You could then repurpose the NV+ as a backup NAS (using rsync to back up the newer model).
Thank. I have enabled SMB1 however I still can't acess the data on the shares. Before WIN10 I could acess in Explorer by selecting the NAS and then a drop down menu would allow access to the data
Now whenever I select the NAS it takes me to the IP address and Admin pages where I can't seem to access the data
I have a laptop running WIN7 and it works fine
Try entering \\nas-ip-address (or \\nas-host-name) into the file explorer address bar and see if that works. Use the real IP address or hostname of course - and be careful to use the correct slash direction.
- Actually I've tried it both ways. The way you suggested will not connect it searches in this week and never connects to anything.

//192.168.1.92 won't work - as you discovered, it launches your browser and connects with http.
But if you have tried \\192.168.1.192 already, then try running CMD by entering CMD in the windows search box. That will open a black text box. Select that box and enter
net use * /delete net use z: \\192.168.1.92\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real admin password instead of the italics. Be very careful on the typing - particularly spaces and slash direction. Note both slash directions are used in the commands above.
The first command terminates any open SMB sessions. If it prompts, let it proceed.
The second command attempts to mount the data volume on your NAS as drive letter Z on the PC. Let us know if it works (or what error you get).
i get the following
The syntax of this command is:
NET
[ ACCOUNTS | COMPUTER | CONFIG | CONTINUE | FILE | GROUP | HELP |
HELPMSG | LOCALGROUP | PAUSE | SESSION | SHARE | START |
STATISTICS | STOP | TIME | USE | USER | VIEW ]C:\windows\system32>
